Who We Are

For over 25 years, Native Instruments has been at the forefront of sonic innovation. Guided by our mission to inspire and enable creators to express themselves, we develop integrated audio hardware and software solutions for musicians, producers, engineers, and DJs of all genres and levels of experience.

Our hardware and software teams work in close collaboration to create inspiring and accessible hardware instruments such as drum machines and keyboards. We are looking for a Team Lead who is an experienced technical expert and excels in guiding and leading a software development team. Our engineers work on a variety of topics such as complex user interfaces, the audio engine, databases and hardware interactions. Whilst still working hands on technology alongside your team colleagues, you are taking on people management responsibilities of your team.

• Take over typical tasks of a people management like recruiting, onboarding, disciplinary discussions, paying attention to the well-being of your team members etc.
• Ensure personal and professional development of employees
• Provide an appropriate working environment
• Monitor and manage individual conflicts which cannot be solved by the teams themselves
• Organize and conduct annual appraisals by means of feedback and feedforward techniques

What You'll Need

• Passion: Interest and aptitude for technology, management and leadership
• Technical Expertise: Strong knowledge and understanding of software development. Experience writing modern, clean and maintainable code in C++. Experience in (audio) real-time development or embedded systems preferred.
